A week ago my grand mother passed away suddenly (no illness) after both my biological grandfathers passed and the grandpa that raised me. It feels very lonely and scary. With a pre-existing Anxiety Disorder, the anxiety due to grief is one I do not well understand. We had to increase my medications for the next few weeks as they will be the most difficult time to adapt.
I was doing so great now that I’m on treatment and, now damn... how to deal with that vulnerability and anticipation loss type of anxiety... any tips, please!

I can’t really help with advice, but I know what you are going through as I lost my father when I was 16 years old. Had major depression. Took Xanax pills to calm me down. I really didn’t go out of the house for 3 months, was feeling depressed and anxious for about a year and a half and just became not interested in anything. I was in pain and it was hard. Surrond yourself with friends and people you love, that was the best medicine for me. Also reading motivational and positive books. Watching comedies etc.
Grief is now a part of our broken world. Most of us will endure some form at some point in our lives. Although, some may endure more than others. I have experienced grief after losing a close friend years ago as well as when I lost my uncle to a tragic death last year. I also grieved when my youngest son was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017. It did not take his life, but I truly grieved for a long time. There are so many questions that we face while grieving. Many of which simply can't be answered in this life. I do believe that grief takes a toll on our physical bodies. God is providing both physical and spiritual healing for me. I pray that you will look to Him for this same healing. Blessings!

Appreciate the time you have with someone, don't take a day for granted. Worrying about something none of us can change, is wasted time. Live every moment, and you will find even the littlest things, are a part of the best moments of your life. Death is the great equalizer, it doesn't care if you were good or bad, young or old, we all have to face that Nirvana when the time comes.
I just wanted to share with you that it’s been seven years since my grandmother has passed away in a sudden tragic car accident and she was like a mother to me I was very close with her and to have this happen all of a sudden without warning I am still so angry about it and can’t think about it I don’t know if that’s why I am angry at the world but I was told that I have to MoveOn but I just can’t
I know it was a long time ago, but I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I still have waves of grief, and I know it last forever. I grieve easier each time I cry about her. She was a mother to me as well. I hope you are still around, would love to chat perhaps!
